Credential and source path

Foundations Source Study Path

Choose the right NICET credential and level, confirm the current sources, then use mixed supplemental practice without treating a practice percentage as a NICET result.

Choose the credential before the question bank

Which NICET path are you taking?

FAS and ITFAS are separate credentials. Your choice is saved in a new preference record and does not replace existing lesson, flashcard, test, pathway, weak-area, readiness, missed-question, or exam-date progress.

Source-gated FAS Level I navigation: 3 original tasks

The bounded set practices one reference lookup in each official Level I domain across NFPA 70 (2020) and NFPA 72 (2022). Legacy mixed-bank prompts admitted: 0 questions. The existing bank remains deduplicated mixed supplemental practice because none of its answers has the complete human-review record.

Current FAS uses NFPA 72 (2022). NICET expects an update to NFPA 72 (2025) around mid-2027; the date is TBD. No future outline, count, time, or reference set is assumed.
